Proceedings of the International Convention (Florence, Palazzo Pitti - Lucca, Villa Buonvisi Bottini, September 1998) devoted to Italian and European historic gardens with specific
emphasis on the architecture of grottos and nymphaeums.
Organized by the Italian Soprintendenze, the Convention also involved important European institutions such as the Sénat de France, the British National Trust and the Directors of the Peterhof Park near St. Petersburg. The many European specialists in the field who attended contributed with essays on different scientific and historical subjects relating to parks and gardens in different parts of the world, covering a period from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Century.
